Search With
Clarity and Intent

CB & Associates approaches high-touch recruiting as a strategic process, not a transactional one.

That means senior-level attention, targeted evaluation, and direct communication from the start of the search through the hire.

I recently worked with Cindy as she was looking to fill a position and had such a wonderful experience. She was professional, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and it was evident that she truly loves her job. She helped me navigate the interview and offer process and I couldn’t be happier – both with the experience with Cindy and my new position! Working with Cindy was such a pleasure, and I would highly recommend her services! Thanks for everything, Cindy!

Brand Manager

Lindsay L.

Cindy is one of the best recruiters I have ever known. As a Human Resources manager, I relied on her expertise for over 20 years, and today, I am proud to call her a friend. Cindy's honesty, warmth, and genuine care for people have always stood out. Throughout my career as an HR practitioner—from Manager to VP in the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution sectors with companies like CalComp, Springs Industries, and Vans—Cindy was an invaluable asset. She consistently made me look good by bringing in the right people, even before the era of the Internet!

Human Resources Manager

Jacquelyn T.

From start to finish Cindy was there for me every step of the way. The company I was interviewing with truly respected and thought highly of her referrals. She always made herself available to me and had valuable input and feedback for every phase of the interview process. She made a normally tedious and sometimes frustrating process smooth and enjoyable. She was, without a doubt a very integral part of my hiring! I strongly endorse Cindy and her firm for all your recruiting needs.

Customer Service Representative for the Aftermarket Division

Patricia R.

Cindy did a great job of matching me for an executive opening she had in my industry. She reached out to me directly and clearly explained the position, my potential fit, and the benefits that could come with a career change after 10+ years. She then guided me through the interview process while working to ensure that not only was I a fit for her client but that here client was a fit for me. I felt like more than someone she was simply placing to fill a position. She continues to follow up with me even now, post transition to my new career. I highly recommend Cindy and her firm for any staffing needs you may have and absolutely recommend her for guiding you through any potential career changes you may have in play.
